GoDaddy now has PhP 5.6 on Managed WordPress – Anspress 4.0 needs…??
In any case Anspress works fine with PHP 5.5, as posted here (or is it 5.6 ?):
As for the upgrade, if you can wait a few weeks more, it would say go for 4 to avoid 2 updates (backups etc etc).
Personally i use 3.0.7 and works well (a few things do not but … ok, all versions have some problems, i learned to ignore them).
Remember to BACKUP everything first in case something goes wrong.

Also did you have a reason you stayed at 2.4.8 ? If so, then watch out for problems that maybe exist and conflicts. Totally different 3 & 4, i mean many – many changes.
WordPress is suggesting / moving to PHP 7 and SSL. Totally. They don’t even suggest any hosting company that doesn’t offer by default PHP 7. So PHP 5.6 is …..

“Separately, I also think the performance improvements in PHP7 are particularly impressive, and major kudos to everyone who worked on that. We will consider whether hosts use PHP7 by default for new accounts next year as well.”
